Road Cycling - Saddle, Sit bones and sizing

Other than somehow talking my LBS into letting me try 20 different saddles, is there a good way to get close to the correct saddle for my Sit bones? I have fairly wide hips, not fat, actually wide apart bones and I think I could save myself some soreness if I had a better saddle.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the end of your saddle worries. (http://www.brookssaddles.com/welcome.htm) Once you own a Brooks you will never go back.

Welcome to the end of your saddle worries
Should that be the "The worries of your saddle end?"

Thanks, I will definately look into that.

Wowzer, is there a site that isn't being hosted on a modem that I can look these saddles up on?

Thanks! Much better.

I should add that I can second the recommendation of Brooks saddles. Rather than trying to find a saddle that fits your sit bones, you get a saddle that molds itself to your sit bones and becomes 'one with your butt' :). I use a Team Professional saddle on both roadie and commuter, and find that they fit me very well. They were comfortable from day one, and just keep getting better. I had tried at least 10 different modern saddles before listening to the advice on this forum and getting a Brooks. I've never regretted it, and love the way they look on the bike too.

I bought both of mine from Person's Majestic (www.permaco.com) (the second link) when they had a $10 off sale in December. I can highly recommend them - very prompt delivery and good service.

The slow link that Ranger gave you, Wallingford Bike Parts (www.wallbike.com) is worth considering if you do decide to get a Brooks. They have a 6 month unconditional return policy on all Brooks saddles that they sell.

the aliente is pretty wide

Thanks for the recommendations. Ordering today so it's here by the weekend I hope ;)

There are several Brooks models. Also several Brooks threads on this forum. Search he forum for "Brooks" and you will get lots of info.
